sounds like you accidentally the whole thing.

If a journal is shot, then yes, the crank is shot. If you are going to rebuild the whole bottom end, you really need to decide if your car is worth putting the funds into, or if that same amount of cash can be a down payment on a new car.

Buy a cheap replacement motor. Then, with your extra money, attend some english classes.
